- | This should be something influenced by societal education. Magic and psionic talents (Including specific disciplines) | + | Rolaan |
+ | ==== Skills ==== | ||
+ | == Construction == | ||
+ | Geomancer Rolaan tend towards construction professions, | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Craft == | ||
+ | Crafts are a centerpiece of Rolaan society, having their entire barter system based around small crafts. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Culinary == | ||
+ | Rolaan, due to their biology, make poor chefs for creatures with refined palettes like humans. However, given their powerful noses, they make excellent aromatic things, such as teas. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Technology-based Disciplines == | ||
+ | Engineering, | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Communications== | ||
+ | Rolaan are predisposed towards being social creatures towards strangers, so Rolaan ambassadors have an easier time navigating the fray of social minefields/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Magic == | ||
+ | By far the most prevalent Rolaan talent. Most Rolaan have reasonably large magical reserves and actually survive on them by fueling the magic bands that helps keep their bodies working properly. This, of course, comes to the detriment that few psionic Rolaan exist and those that do usually don't know of their talents. Geomancy and golemcraft are the common disciplines but many others exist as needed or desired in a community. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Senses == | ||
+ | Rolaan magical senses, like the above, are usually finely tuned from constant use in fueling their bands. But, they tend to be a bit more localized in these talents, so it requires a bit of training and focus to expand their sensory radius. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Thaumatology == | ||
+ | Given the mass Rolaan skill towards magic and general history, any general community will have a decent repertoire of magical writings and tomes on tap. | ||
+ | |||
